Under the bright morning sun at the Department of Finance (DOF) headquarters in Manila, LANDBANK President and CEO Lynette V. Ortiz proudly joined the flag-raising ceremony on November 24, 2025. The event also welcomed newly appointed Finance Secretary Frederick D. Go, who takes on an additional role as LANDBANK Chairman.
Ortiz reaffirmed the bank’s support for Secretary Go and highlighted LANDBANK’s commitment to working closely with the DOF. The partnership aims to strengthen financial inclusion across the Philippines and support programs that drive national development, especially initiatives benefiting small businesses, farmers, and underserved communities.
As one of the country’s leading government financial institutions, LANDBANK plays a critical role in implementing government programs that provide accessible financing, promote economic growth, and empower Filipinos to participate in the country’s development. By collaborating with the DOF, the bank continues to align its efforts with national priorities, ensuring that financial services reach more Filipinos, particularly in rural areas.
The ceremony also underscored the shared responsibility of government leaders and institutions to foster transparency, accountability, and effective service delivery. For Ortiz and LANDBANK, supporting the new leadership at the DOF is part of a broader commitment to advancing programs that strengthen the country’s financial systems and create opportunities for all citizens.
As the Philippines faces evolving economic challenges, such collaboration between finance institutions and government agencies signals a focused effort to promote inclusive growth, financial stability, and nationwide development.
